Also from our Continental Divide Expedition we will be continuing our relationship with Overland Journal. These guys created a whole new standard here in the US for what a vehicle focus magazine could be. And really magazine is not a worth descriptor if you have ever held one in your hand and flipped the pages. Large format, amazing pictures, adventurous story telling and product reviews that aren't based on who spends more money on full page advertising.
Another item that we are really looking forward to trying out are the Staun Internal Beadlocks. The idea of not dealing with a busted bead is a huge relief for someone in a wheelchair or an amputee. Even folks who are just getting on in years find changing tires a tough bit of work and since airing down is a fundamental part of off road driving it is important to take away the worry of breaking a bead. Speaking of airing down we will be making good use of Staun's deflators and once back home the Massojet will get all that muck off the rig so we can check for any wear. Believe it or not time spent in the driveway looking for small problems sure beats hours spent on the trail trying to get a fix done well enough to get you home.
There are more cool things in the works, and plenty of pictures to come as things progress. I will go deeper into some of our choices in wheelchair left, power transfer seat base, hand controls, wheels, tires, and more as things develop. Thanks for tracking this project and if you or anyone you know is disabled and lives in the southwest US and would like to venture out on a daytrip or overnight backcountry experience please contact us, that is what this rig is for!
